Chief Information Officer Exchange | Invite-Only CIO Event

Welcome to another year of enterprise acceleration!

Businesses are moving fast, and so are its leaders. The winners are agile, fast-moving, cost-effective and capitalising on the right capabilities. They are also constantly learning, evolving their own skillset and building a trusted team around them that can bridge any knowledge gaps.

The CIO Exchange seeks to expand that circle and connect the leaders of today with peers who are equally committed to evolving their enterprises. They also need the game changing solutions that can help them get there. The Exchange offers insights into the incoming impact of quantum, turning non-tech companies into AI-first businesses, how responsibility for ESG now also sits with IT, and what "beyond" transformation actually means. We'll explore how to simplify IT landscapes, modernise legacy systems, and build cultures that are inclusive, adaptive, and future-ready. Furthermore, we will address the tough questions: How do we scale responsibly? How do we lead when we don’t have all the answers? How do we prepare for a future that’s already arriving?

Join the leaders who are rewriting the IT playbook to balance speed with security, innovation with governance, and transformation with trust, to lead with confidence into an unknown, disruptive future.

2026 Key Event Themes

The name of the game is SPEED

Accelerate business value by automating more and cutting waste, while ensuring your people keep pace with advancing processes and technologies.

Delivering a long-term strategy in a quick-win world:

From the EU AI Act to NetZero to quantum computing, leaders must future-proof strategies without losing sight of near-term wins.

FOMO or FOMU?

As AI advances, leaders must balance the fear of missing out with the fear of messing up, setting non-negotiables for skills, empathy, and adoption.

Rethinking Security with shifting global threats:

With new cyber risks emerging daily, leaders must strengthen defences and foster a culture of awareness and resilience.

Here's what attendees of the Exchange had to say

"I really like the size of it, it means that you can have meaningful conversations as the group discussion sessions are all manageable. The content is always ‘of the moment’ and I always take away good insights to bring back to my team."

“Responsible for AI delivery in my organisation, I found the Exchange Conference exceptionally insightful. It provided valuable insights and fostered meaningful connections with my industry counterparts.”

“The Exchange transcended typical networking events. Within just a few hours, I found myself exchanging battle-tested transformation strategies with peers who truly understood the weight of enterprise-wide change”

“Professional event management understands the senior leadership mindset. Great balance of people focus with a complex technical subject. Highly recommend their expertise.”

“The most useful 48 hours I’ll probably spend on my professional development this year. Having the opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and discuss key issues with my peers is invaluable.”

The CIO Exchange and Chief AI Officer Exchange are co-located, bringing CIOs and AI leaders together to align IT and AI strategies for enterprise transformation.
